Sinopsis

Girolamo Frescobaldi was the greatest Italian keyboard composer of the early Baroque. Throwing caution to the wind he introduced his own âÇÖunconventionalâÇÖ style of inventive harmony, quirky rhythms and innovative embellishment, establishing his prominence as a beacon of musical excellence, and an inspiration for future generations of composers.áWith practical discussions on 17th century fingering methods, ornamentation, organ registration, modes, tuning and temperament, and Italian instruments, plus other intriguing concepts, Richard Lester explores much of the composerâÇÖs creative genius: a trendsetter straordinario.A supplement to this book in the form of a documentary is available on www.richardlester.org.uk and audio recordings by Richard Lester on historic instruments are available on Spotify, or from sales@wyastone.co.uk
